I just bought a Cleveland cg15 62*/6 To go with the cg15 56*/8 I bought the other week. And picked up a brush on a zip wire that attaches to bag to keep the grooves clean. And then I treated myself to a Bridgestone cap! Trucker style with mesh back for ventilation and pre curved peak, not one of those ridiculous flat billed peaked cap that make ya head look like a melon.

I picked up a 50 degree 10 bounce Cleveland Golf 588 RTX Wedge (Cavity Back) and it certainly lives up to all of the hype. Review to come shortly!

Traded in a CG15 wedge for an Odyssey White Ice 2 Ball. Also bought some Nike golf shorts and a dozen Titleist Velocity balls.  DSG is always more than fair with me. Gave me $39 trade allowance on a club that can be bought for $79 new. I had guys on craigslist offering me $25 for it. With my $20 rewards cert and 20% apparel coupon walked out for $123 and it put another 300 points into my rewards account with the bonus cards they sent me.

Tiger Shark putter grip for my SC Fastback2....goodbye Super Stroke 2.0 and take those  6 - 8 extra putts you left me, per round, on my last nine rounds. Tiger Shark...I'll never leave you again....


I'm playing this weekend with my 2 boys.....so I bought a 15 pack of Pinnacles, so they aren't using/losing my ProV1's. I'll play the Pinnacles along with them, and they are only $1/ball.

Players play, tough players win!

No purchase.  But dropped off my driver to get a rattle fixed.  Very annoying.

(just had a broken shaft replaced and then a rattle developed after a month or so - Nike would fix the rattle for free, but the shop can do it in a day or so).  It stinks, because with the new shaft, my drive is becoming my best shot lately.  (yes, I need to practice my irons and fw's more then).

I did some research on rattles and apparently this isn't too uncommon after a reshaft.  Especially on a regular type club.  Though mine has an adjustable hosel (VR Pro STR8 Fit).

I tried to tip the rattling bit towards the hosel and then heating the hosel to see if there is any set wax to melt and capture whatever was in there.  Not sure if that applies to this type of club or not.  Didn't work.

The club guy at the store said it sounded like a bit of flashing is loose (not plastic or wax remnant) and that he'd need to drill an access hole (inside the hosel, likely remove the adjustable piece plug and then in behind that....so no cosmetic problems or anything visible) to get some rattle foam inside.  Sounds like a cheap fix.  He said typically $10-$12.  (I think that's worth it vs sending to Nike for a couple weeks even if free)

Stuck with my Sasquatch for the weekend.  (I'm glad I kept my backup driver now).  CLANK!!!!!  Whooooosh!!!

Oakley polo, a dozen Nike 20XI X Golf Balls (Normally too much for me to justify, but on sale for $29.99 so I figured I'd give them a whirl), and a Taylor Made hat.

    • I would definitely attend if my calendar allows.
    • Finland: I've played Mid-Night Golf in Finland. Really cool. I looked at the schedule for my week out there and I saw that we were teeing off at 9PM... Feels weird, 9 PM tee time. But it was really great. We finished well after 1AM and sat around and drank on the golf course terrace. It was cool. It's really easy to loose track of time when the sun doesn't set.  Here's a picture of me in Finland hitting my approach on the final hole. It's roughly 1:30AM in this photo.  Egypt: Another cool experience was playing golf in Egypt. The entire course is sand. The greens are called browns, cuz they are just sand with oil poured on them and pounded down a bit. Your ball gets kind of oily when you putt, but the caddy cleans it for you after each hole. You carry around a little piece of fake grass (maybe 2 foot square) and place your ball on it each time before you hit. That is except when you go into a sandtrap. The sandtraps are just areas marked off where you don't get to use your little piece of astro-turf. Sometimes they are dug down a bit to make a bunker, sometimes not.  Spain: No special events or anything, but I played a bunch of golf in Spain in the mid-1990's. At that time Spain's economy wasn't doing the best and Europe hadn't quite switched to the Euro. So Spain was using the Peseta. The country of Spain has some incredibly breathtaking courses. (incredible scenery in general) But because of the conversion from the dollar to the Peseta (If memory serves it was 150 to 1), I got to play them for what I remember as being incredibly inexpensive prices. Gorgeous country and really nice people.  Holland or The Netherlands: I lived for a couple of years in what's called The Flevoland in Holland. It's one of the Dutch provinces and it's all land that was recovered from the sea. So, it's all under sea-level. One of the courses I played a few times out there had flags on every hole to show just how deep the water would be if it wasn't for the dams. 
    • Yeah, that's right. I remember now. Pia Nilsson. I've read a couple of her books. "Be A Player" and "Every Shot Must Have A Purpose".  I read them back maybe 10 years ago. ... maybe 5? ... pre-pandemic anyway.  Good memory. 
    • Having had the opportunity to live and work in a few different countries, I've encountered some golf traditions, whether they are well-established customs or unique experiences at local courses. While not all of these are widely practiced, they highlight the diversity and creativity in the golfing world. 1. Japan - The O-Bon Golf Festival In Japan, during the O-Bon (lantern) Festival, I've seen golf courses hosting night golf events with glowing balls and lantern-lit fairways. It's a serene and beautiful way to combine golf with culture.  2. Scotland - The Guising Golfers In Scotland, around Halloween, I've come across golfers participating in "guising," where they dress up in costumes and play a round of golf. It adds a festive twist and a lot of fun to the game. 3. South Korea - The New Year's Honbae In South Korea, golfers play a round of golf on New Year's Day, followed by a celebratory meal and drinks (9th hole and after the game). It's a time for camaraderie and positive intentions for the year ahead. Besides new year's, on higher end courses, they often break on the 9th hole for some light food and drinks like fancy ramen and makgeolli rice wine (ordered in advance). 4. Australia - The Outback Golf Challenge (I have not experienced this one myself) In Australia, there is apparently an Outback Golf Challenge, where golfers navigate rough terrain and face unconventional obstacles. It's considered a true test of skill and adaptability (but hasn't produced many PGA golfers 😉 ). 5. Finland - The Midnight Sun Golf Tournament (I have not experienced this one myself) In Finland, the Midnight Sun Golf Tournament is where golfers play late into the evening under the perpetual twilight of the summer months. The endless daylight makes it a truly unique event. While these traditions may not be universally established, they represent the variety of golfing experiences around the world. I'm curious if any of you have encountered or participated in unique or local golf traditions, whether internationally or closer to home.
    • It's from "Every Shot Has a Purpose" which was co-written by one of Annika's coaches. Decent read about reducing uncertainty and committing to the golf shot.
